Gene expression patterns of adipocytes at different developmental stages. A Proportional Area Chart (Half Circle). Two groups of half circles indicate two DEGs sets of adipocytes, and the areas represent the number of DEGs. B Fuzzy clustering of expression data at five developmental points. Purple or red colored lines correspond to genes with high membership value, and y axis represents the normalized expression value from the Mfuzz result. C–D The heatmap reveals the relative gene expression level of adipocytes in G90 (C) and PI2 (D), combined with the GO/KEGG enriched items of each cluster. E Visualization of the transition of highly expressed genes in pseudotime ordering of adipocytes at different developmental stages
